The Festival Stage

At the Festival Stage, live performances inspired by Emirati culture and heritage provide diverse entertainment for all the family. From animal shows and projection theatre to character dramas, this performance space is where moving stories are told to captivated audiences.

This year’s shows are:

The Sky Show - Featuring the Birds of Al Ain Zoo (5.15pm): Visitors can meet Maktub the Steppe Eagle, Najib the mischievous Kestrel and many other beautiful birds from Al Ain Zoo, as they entertain the crowds with breath-taking feats of speed and agility.
